Chapter 110
After the recording of the program, Hugo and Jie left the studio, but before they could get out of the door, the audience rushed up and immediately crowded the road to leave. Jie looked at the enthusiastic and excited faces, patted Hugo on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Your time." Then he left first.
Hugo stayed in place, watching the audience gradually approaching her, but he didn't react for a while, but then the lady standing in front of the lady holding the "Hug Here" sign took out a marker and a poster of "Smelling the fragrance and knowing women". Hugo immediately understood, and then combined with the lady's words "Please sign me, okay?", Hugo's idea was immediately confirmed.
Signature? This is really beyond Hugo's expectations. In fact, these are the three major benefits when artists meet fans. The other two are hugs and photos, which are also the best opportunity for fans to get close to each other with their idols. However, Hugo has never signed an autograph for anyone, whether before or after time travel.
At this moment, Hugo truly felt the popularity of "Smelling the Scent of the Scent" after the release of the film. You should know that in the nine months before that, Hugo walked on the streets of Los Angeles countless times, but no one asked Hugo for autographs, so that Hugo had forgotten about this matter at all, and just devoted himself to the study of acting skills and adapting to life in Los Angeles in the early 1990s.
Now, it is not just one person, there are at least 40 or 50 people waiting for Hugo to sign. Whether they are joining in the fun or really like Hugo, the lively scene in front of him made Hugo really feel the heat coming from all directions, with twinkling eyes, earnest calls, and eager touches, making Hugo essentially feel what popularity is. Since the recording of the "Tonight Show", he felt that the light feeling reached a new peak at this moment. Hugo just felt that he could ride the wind at any time.
But what does the signature of his predecessor look like? Hugo thought about it carefully, but did not find any answer in his mind. When Hugo was writing lyrics before, he was worried that his handwriting would be different, but there was no problem when he showed it to Joseph. So Hugo guessed that his body's instinct would still play an invisible role, as if it had been a withdrawal reaction that lasted for more than four months.
"Of course." Hugo did not hesitate anymore, showed a bright smile, took the poster of the lady standing in front, "Who would you like to give?"
Hugo put the poster on his palm and tried to start writing, but there was no way. He raised his head and looked around with his height advantage. He walked towards the table that Jie used when he was in charge. The whole crowd surrounded Hugo and moved together. Walking to the table, Hugo signed his name on the poster. He wanted to sign "Chen Hugo", but this was impossible, so Hugo signed "Hugo.lancaster". The flowing English cursive script was elegant and timeless, like a great writer who wrote on a quill pen on a sheepskin scroll, which reminded people of the origin of the name "Hugo".
"Meredith Morris." Ms.'s words stunned Hugo. He couldn't help but look up at the lady in front of him. He was sure that this was a middle-aged lady, not the little girl he saw at the premiere of "Smelling the Scent and Knowing the Woman".
Hugo thought about it and asked, "Well, I met a cute girl named Meredith Morris at this premiere..." In fact, Hugo had a big obstacle to remembering the name, and it was always difficult for him to remember the name, but the girl at the premiere left him with a deep impression. At this time, when the lady in front of him reminded him, Hugo immediately remembered it.
"She is my daughter." The lady said with a smile, "I am Catherine. This signature is for my daughter. She needs to go to school today." Hugo suddenly realized that it is very rare for her daughter to chase stars, but Catherine added, "I have watched your movies, and I like you very much."
Hugo's smile was filled with happiness and joy, and he lowered his head and wrote "To my dear Catherine and Meredith Morris, thank you for your support, it's my honor."
Hugo then handed the poster back to Catherine and said again, "Your support is important to me." Then he expressed his gratitude with a smile.
Looking at Hugo's sunny warm smile, Catherine's gaze at Hugo couldn't help but soften.
Other audience members next to them also handed over the paper and pen in their hands. Hugo also took the paper and pen one by one, patiently signed each audience, including the gifts they asked for. After Hugo signed more than a dozen people, he realized that he was still inexperienced. He foolishly changed the pen every time he signed it. This was a waste of time. It was better to hold a pen and sign the paper that was constantly handed over at the beginning, and the speed was obviously much faster. Unfortunately, this was the first time Hugo signed his signature in his life, so he naturally did not have such awareness.
As a result, after Hugo signed the forty-one audience, it was already thirty-five minutes later, and the time was consumed a bit long.
Joseph welcomed Hugo back to the backstage and said goodbye to Jie in a hurry. He didn't even have time to chat for more, so he had to rush to the radio to record. This time, "Smelling the Fragrance to Know Women" achieved unexpected success, making the entire publicity itinerary tighter. Originally, Universal Pictures did not have so much publicity arrangements at all, but after the movie was successful in the first week, the re-arranged publicity immediately became closer.
Sitting in the car, Hugo saw more than a dozen fans gathered at the door of the studio. He asked in surprise, "Have they been waiting here all the time?" Hugo vaguely saw several familiar faces, the faces he had seen when he arrived just now.
Joseph did not make any fuss at this time and focused on the road ahead. "This is nothing. You didn't see those fans who waited all night to meet their idols. That is the most loyal." The subtext means that just waiting for the ninety minutes of the program recording is nothing at all.
Although he said so, Hugo still leaned against the window and looked at the fans who were jogging along the way with his car. The smile on his face was curious and satisfied, and he kept waving his hands with his fans. "Smelling the fragrance and knowing women" is not a work that can attract fans, so after launching the promotion, he actually received such a warm reaction, which really made Hugo a little overwhelmed. The clouds of the Golden Raspberry Awards that had previously shrouded over his head seemed to finally dissipate, and he saw the bright moon through the clouds.
Hugo's excitement did not last long, and even greater surprises were waiting for him at the radio door. Here, there were not only a dozen fans, but more than 30 people gathered at the door. When they saw Hugo's car appear, they all rushed up. Hugo couldn't even open the car door.
Hugo had never seen such a scene, and was also a little stunned when he was happy, "How can we open the door like this?" He used to read news reports that some celebrities were surrounded by enthusiastic fans and could not get off in the house. Hugo still didn't understand what "no way to move" means, which is definitely too exaggerated. But today, Hugo personally experienced what the so-called surround is.
Hugo tried to open the car door, but the fans outside the door kept pushing forward and pressing the car door tightly, and there was no way to push it open. There was no way for Hugo to fight against the momentum of a large group of people alone. Hugo didn't have a bodyguard now, and he didn't expect such a situation, nor did he reach the level of hiring a bodyguard, so Hugo is really trapped now.
The fans not only blocked the car door, but also kept slapping the windows and pushing the car body, making Hugo feel that she was not sitting in the car, but sitting on a small boat, and the waves outside were quite large. Such enthusiasm is more than two levels higher than the "Tonight Show" just now.
Joseph also kept pushing the car door irritably, but he did not do anything either. "The radio station was almost late, and they still..." Joseph was more concerned at this time that whether the radio station could arrive on time was not a good thing. It was unexpected that the fans just left the autographs for fans to sign, but now he was surrounded by the radio door again. Joseph realized that he must set out in advance in the future, because unexpected situations such as fans and paparazzi must also be included in the scope of consideration.
Fortunately, at this moment, the security arrangement at the door of the radio went to the side of the driver's seat of the car to clear the road. Fortunately, there were only more than 30 people on the scene, which was not too many, so the security guard opened the door smoothly and asked Joseph to go down first. Joseph stood at the door, resisted the fans behind, and shouted to it, "Hugo, hurry, hurry!"
Hugo crawled over from the passenger seat, his feet had just fallen to the ground, and before anyone could stand up straight, he could feel several hands rushing towards him. This enthusiasm made Hugo a little overwhelmed. Joseph hurriedly protected Hugo and walked quickly towards the radio building surrounded by four security guards, but all the fans seemed to be wrapped in marshmallows around the stick, and could not shake them off. So he followed, accompanied by the buzzing shouts like bees, making every move of Hugo very difficult.
Hugo felt that he was about to suffocate. The heat, shouts, and touches around him surrounded Hugo. There were only thirty people, but Hugo felt like there were 300 people, which made him feel like he was trapped in a mud, and his every move was filled with countless resistances. This sweet trouble came so rapidly that it caught people off guard.
After Hugo finally walked into the building and blocked his fans, Hugo had time to turn his head and look at the scene behind him. Thirty fans continued to wave their hands at Hugo, with joy and happiness on his face. The picture that filled his eyes with completeness made the arc at the corner of Hugo's mouth outline, and he let out a long breath, "This is a wonderful picture."
